Acceleration of ions to a constant energy for TOFMS [time-of-flight mass spectrometry] is achieved by [the] application of an electrostatic field over a known distance(from an ion's initial position to the exit of the acceleration region). By this method, all ions starting from that point, regardless of m/z [mass-to-charge ratio], are sent into the mass-separation region(the flight tube) with the same nominal boost in energy. 2, record 1, English, - flight%20tube

For the purpose of manufacturing snow, we use low-pressure mobile snowmakers commonly called “snow cannons. ” These snow cannons are essentially equipped with an air compressor and a powerful turbine fan. The integrated fan blows the surrounding air through a large tube. At the end of the tube, water is vaporised under pressure through fine nozzles into the flow of air and carried a distance of 20 to 45 meters in altitude, during which the water freezes into crystals and snow flakes, and falls to the ground. 7, record 4, English, - snow%20cannon

A typical cyclone is illustrated in Figure 6 [p. 15]. Dust-laden gas tangentially enters the annular space between the cyclone body and the outlet tube, and begins to traverse a helical path(shown by the solid flow line) called the "main vortex". Near the bottom of the cone, the axial direction of the helix reverses, as shown by the dotted line, and forms the "vortex core". The tangential velocity is greatest at a radial distance from the centerline of 0. 4 to 0. 8 the radius of the gas outlet tube. The diameter of the vortex core is usually 0. 2 to 0. 4 times the diameter of the gas outlet. The tangential direction of flow is the same in both the main vortex and the vortex core, so that centrifugal separating forces are exerted on the particles in both sections of flow. 1, record 16, English, - main%20vortex

SRA Communications showed this electronic display with optical magnification(EDOM) system in mock-up form at the Military Electronics Defence Expo late last year in Wiesbaden. It is intended to provide a head-down display of a range of different information and sensor pictures in the limited space of a military cockpit, using a high-brightness, 1-inch cathode ray tube with a lens to provide the pilot with a virtual image at a distance of between one and two metres from his eyes. 1, record 19, English, - electronic%20display%20with%20optical%20magnification

Mis au point par SRA pour le Service suédois des Matériels de défense et destiné aux futurs avions suédois comme le JAS, l'EDOM utilise un tube cathodique haute brillance, de 1 pouce, associé à une optique de grossissement pour présenter au pilote une image virtuelle à une distance de 1 à 2 mètres. 1, record 19, French, - syst%C3%A8me%20d%27affichage%20%C3%A9lectronique%20%C3%A0%20grossissement%20optique
